The paper uses Ca2+ imaging and fMRI-BOLD in mice to compare functional network organization, finding overlapping but distinct patterns between modalities.

The paper investigates the role of acetylcholine in maintaining directionally biased glutamatergic retinal waves during development.

This study shows PTEN mutations cause ventriculomegaly and cortical network dysfunction through neural precursor and interneuron dysregulation, with mTORC1 inhibition offering therapeutic potential.

This study develops methods to image retinal activity in awake mice, showing that retinal dynamics are modulated by movement through histaminergic transmission.

The paper introduces a pipeline for analyzing widefield calcium imaging data and shows how functional network properties differ with wakefulness and across cell types.

This study uses calcium imaging in awake mice to show that rapid changes in cortical functional connectivity encode spontaneous behaviors and reveal subnetworks not captured by traditional parcellation.

This study shows that the MOC efferent system couples bilateral spontaneous activity in the developing auditory system, and its absence reduces auditory sensitivity at hearing onset.

The paper develops a method to simultaneously image local microcircuits and whole cortical activity in awake mice, and uses it to study neuron associations with network motifs.

This paper introduces a method for efficient whole-brain gene delivery in neonatal rats and mice using transverse sinus injections of AAV9.

This paper combines mesoscopic Ca2+ imaging and fMRI to study brain activity across spatiotemporal scales, finding correspondence between signals and stable connectivity matrices.

The paper shows SynCAM 1, regulated by visual experience, controls thalamic input onto PV+ interneurons, limiting cortical plasticity and closing the critical period.

Before eye opening, retinal and callosal activity regulates the density of chandelier cells in V1 to establish binocular vision.
